Missed 1 or 2 active (hormone) pills in a row or started your new pill pack 1 or 2 days late?
• Take the missed active (hormonal) pill as soon as possible and then continue taking your remaining pills at the regular time each day after that. (If you missed 2 active pills, you have several options: take one of the missed pills 2 days in a row, take both missed pills on the same day, or – if you really want to stay on schedule – take the first missed pill right away and throw the second one away.) • You do not need to use any additional protection (like condoms or emergency contraception).
